ITT: People asking whether AI “can do” your job, as if that’s the same question the bosses are asking.

Bosses are not trying to replace 30 workers with 1 person using AI in order to get the job done.

They’re replacing 30 workers with 1 person using AI who will ultimately fail to get the job done, because it’s impossible to thoroughly review 30 workers’ worth of output. Then that 1 person takes the blame, gets fired, and replaced.

AI cannot successfully replace workers. But it doesn’t have to successfully replace them, as long as it can profitably replace them.

I’m not generally a fan of memes that imply an equivalence between the auth-left and auth-right, because they tend to be used by “enlightened centrists” to push horseshoe theory and over-simplify an already over-simplified political compass.

…but the “but I wish it had been” got me pretty good. They really do be like that.

Also, it’s “so forth”, not “so fourth”.

You’re not necessarily wrong for it. The source material is nonsense to begin with, so who’s to say what the right test cases are?

Darknet Diaries would probably cover this

They actually acquired Fyre.Festival.exe. Explorer just doesn’t show the extension by default.

To be clear: I’m saying that an ongoing supply of pure water is a requirement of the cooling method they chose, not that they were required to choose that method. The poster I was replying to asked how water could actually be consumed and not just reused.

Profit does not matter for making money. Not when you’re rich. We’re after big valuations here, projected growth — speculation, baby!

The New York Stock Exchange was purchased by a derivatives exchange. Present-day P&L does not matter. Only whether you can sell your pitch for being a hundred-trillion-dollar company by 2032 well enough to get Forbes, BI, and Gartner to start jerking each other off.

This probably would’ve worked better:

 

Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast

But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.

And when they are, that's going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it's going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we're not going to criticize them openly, and they're not going to criticize us openly.

If we're the pacifists, we're not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don't know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we're not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.

It's not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.

Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what's going to work. But if everybody's pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody's really on the same side.

 

I feel like there’s a substantial overlap between “fuck AI” and “fuck entitled misanthropic man-children”.

 

“Be indigestible. Grow spikes.”

 

From Wikipedia:

.kkrieger (from KriegerGerman for warrior) is a first-person shooter video game created by German demogroup .theprodukkt (a former subdivision of Farbrausch), which won first place in the 96k game competition at Breakpoint in April 2004. The game has never been fully released, remaining instead in the beta stage of development as of 2025, which renders it a perpetual beta.
